Jul 23, 201015 yr I use two apps on my phone as an IV Nurse, Skyscape's: Intravenous Medications by Gahart ($50) and Epocrates (Free)
Jul 23, 201015 yr My Taber's Medical Dictionary (hard copy) came with a year's free access to Taber's iPod application through Skyscape. I use it every day in clinicals. Very handy!
Jul 23, 201015 yr Not sure if you have a phone that's an Android as there are many applications available on thier own Market which is accessable to research on your phone. I have one for IV calculations and also for ICD-9 Coding which helps me lots in the field.
Jul 24, 201015 yr IPhone, iPad, iPod touch have numerous apps that I use, epocrates, IV meds, Sedation, Cardio Pharm, ABX Guide, Harriet Lane, Harrisons, Washington Manual, and more.
Jul 26, 201015 yr Nursing Central by FA Davis is an amazing app. I use it on my Android phone and iPod touch. It combines Taber's, Labs and Diagnostics, Drug Guide, Disease and Disorders, and Medline Journals, a HUGE timesaver. Worth every penny.
